'38 Klum Klanfx supercilious brow and independent swagger only appear as such, are not ego or high disdain, but merely a habit or a tic, at worst. He is too often misunderstood by his close disso- ciates. His mind is alert and inquisitive, his memory as impressable as concrete, with an un- usual capacity to recall slightest details. If out- spoken pedantry is his peccadillo, the fact that his every utterance is authoritative, his promises reliable, is a laurel-observe this year-book. ERNEST B. KOENKER Woodville, O.

A ..... . ....... .'-QU-'41 Slim Though a rather chubby Cherub with a very distinct hangover whenever he sits down on a chair, Slim can out-maneuver anybody when the race is on for the last pork chop on the plate. Formerly as cynical as Voltaire, Slim is getting away from his sneering disbelief in the sincerity and rectitude of his classmates in their dealings with him. Slim may face any conflict with bold arrogance, for the weight of the argument will always be on his side. -by P11111 W. Sfanleo Dick Brains and pages are not enough to fathom and describe this complex character. He is a Heaven of talent, a rare Midas whose every attempt is a success, and yet if he applied his gifts as they deserve, he would be a genius. Versatile is his name. Everything he does is well-nigh perfect. He could turn professional athlete or actor, could lose his nose and still be a glamour boy, could murder a brother and still be loved. WERNER C.

Pope Ernie Ernest-and his name describes him-is as intellectual as Rhodes. He is cultivated and pol- ished, says, Yes, never Yeah, has exhausted to the last period the lifewritings of Thomas Mann. Livingvunto himself, he is a cryptic store of knowledge and well-coined common-sense, too seldom expended. With a conservative 'eye to himself and a 'liberal one to his fellows, he is wise enough to av.oid mischief, witty enough to enjoy it. EDMUND W. LICHTSINN Indianapolis, Ind.

' -Mn-'-ll Growcy Vic, phlegmatic, Stepin-Fetchit-like, does not choose to run-walking is fast enough--and he will probably walk from birth to death without ever biting his nails, without even, perhaps, ever taking a nerve sedative. Vic is diligent by spurts. His speech is a lazy drawl, but his laugh is hearty and gratifying. His ambitions have ranged from journalism to the Navy: he will probably be a professor, but-what's the hurry? CLIFFORD ,IAEBKER Fort Wayne, Ind. Chorus ...........,...,....,.........

'SR-'41 .Iurky Though, now in his tenth year at Concordia, Iurky has watched classes pass on, he has always been able to adjust himself to each new group. This is indeed an accomplishment at a school where every class is an exclusive clique. The Jurkovic-Siebold combination has long been an old romance, a live example of Steve's perse- verance and ambition, and this untiring stick-to- it-iveness will see its Coronation when Jurky enters the ministry.

Constant satellite and patron sponsor of Dick Katt, for whom Wally sacrifices time and goods Qincluding cigarettes and carj, this minimized gentleman-Primaner is all spit-and-polish, keeps his wits scimitar-sharp. In his general talent for the artistic-music, portraiture, acting-is his particular talent to portray melancholy situa- tions-attributive to some disappointment in his own life fperhapsj.

'4'lf'4l Cliff Dashing cadet, diligent student, a good mixer is Cliff. Above all, he is exact, for, to him, a task is not begun until it is finished, a story told is untold if it omits the slightest detail, and class- work is incomplete unless it is recorded to the last comma on spotless paper, folded not more than once, and carefully filed away. A little jerky but punctual: this nicety in him augurs of success. STEPHEN B. JURKOVIC Cambridge, O.

Gingi Big fellow, born leader, ever one to love play more than work, Adam Mayer's name usually provokes a smile, for some of the funniest pranks at Concordia-all innocent, mostly-have been the products of Adam's high-capacity imagina- tion. Alternately sober and frivolous, and IhOSt often frivolous beneath the surface and sober above, he can poker-face a monstrous tale into a verity. Mayer's quickness to think, his slowness to speak have made him the leader he is, our Lieutenant-Colonel. EDWARD G. OERMANN Punxsutawney, Pa. Sponsor Manager.

His first day at Concordia found him christened Elmer Zilrb, which handle, through a process of variations and flourishes, became Ozzie-the good-natured butt of in- numerable jokes. He is industrious and book- wise, but most of all, generous and self-sacri- Hcing to his last penny of pride. LEONARD ROZAK Chicago, Ill. Sock K Buskin ................ '39-'41 Production Staff.

A IFUC picture of a Yankee-is Red. Long, gangling, easy-going, ruddy andguileless face, roofed over with flaming hair. He speaks with a Pennsylvania twang and acts with a German determination. No force of 'siie or 'beauty could dissuade him from his theological ambitions, which are gradually being realized by his persis- tent diligence, a faithful example of Ulysses, How dull it is to pause . . ., To rust unburnished, not to shine in use.

N llihitc ...... . ,fill-'40 Zorak Past master in the braggodocian and prevari- catory arts, Zorafe can narrate exciting episodes about anything from encounters with Chicago bad-men to run-ins with the Executive Com- mittee. Always looking for excitement, he gen- erally finds it in the form of trouble. But never yet has he been bogged down in a predicament from which his smooth loquacity could not ex- tricate him. Though he seems to have an aversion for going to class, he will probably end up in the ministry. -by Paul W. Sfanko
